Mathematics: Summing Up Truth

If you love collecting data, analyzing it, and finding a logical solution—a degree in math may be the path you’ve been looking for.

Mathematics exists in the world all around us. It’s the universal language of science that unlocks the depth and mystery of the Creator. And while careers in this field are on the rise, the need for mathematicians marked by leadership, character, and ethics increases as well.

PCC’s mathematics degree strives to equip students with problem-solving and analytical skills while building upon a biblical perspective. You’ll be prepared to use principles to solve problems practically and through sophisticated applications in the physical sciences—with exceptional attention to detail. You’ll learn to master abstract thinking and logical arguments for you future job and for everyday life. By graduation, you’ll be prepared to apply critical thinking and analytical skills in a variety of careers or as you further your studies in graduate school.


Faith-Based Mathematics

As the universal language of order, analysis, and logic, mathematics fuels almost every area of practical and professional life. Combining a Christian worldview with the expertise of a mathematician, you’ll be able to recognize the presence of God in each of these areas, equipping you to understand and improve the surrounding world. Implementing character and ethics into your practice, you can have a strong testimony to those around you.

“The mathematics program at PCC is benchmarked against several other colleges and universities as we seek to prepare our students for graduate school. However, the biggest difference from the competition is how PCC views students and the subject matter. Our Christian worldview naturally means that we are going to value our students as brothers and sisters in Christ and be dedicated to their success.

I believe that my job is to help the students achieve their goals, and I enjoy the interaction with students both in and out of the classroom. My goal is to get students to think about mathematics, not just do it. The emphasis in critical thinking and problem solving can carry over into other disciplines. We routinely have students tell us that it is their math classes that taught them how to think, and we arrive at certain conclusions because we take Scripture as our premise. The logical reasoning learned in mathematics helps students build better arguments; our hope is that they use these skills to defend their faith and worldview. ”

“[PCC prepared me] by encouraging me to approach problem‑solving in a logical manner and always to carry an attitude of excellence. I appreciate the Christian viewpoint taken in the classes—even in the mathematics program, we are encouraged to approach all subjects through a Christian worldview. The world can be described by logical principles because the Creator used logic to build the world the way He intended and to give us insight into His character. I use [my degrees] every day as I view the world through the problem‑solving lens of engineering and the abstraction of truth based on logical reasoning.

I enjoyed my study of mathematics because the math teachers are not afraid to explain the details of why something is the way it is. I have never been satisfied with memorizing knowledge; I want to understand every detail of how the world works.”
